Dog Walking Santa Fe

“Mia was great! I had never had someone walk my dog and was a little nervous. She made me feel super comfortable. She took some great pictures along the way! We will be using her again!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my patience, caring personality, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I want to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I’m also willing to follow specific feeding routines and care instructions to keep pets comfortable in their own environment. I’m especially interested in learning more about puppy care and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. My goal is to give every pet the same kindness, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m happy to make time in my daily and weekly routine to provide pets with the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I understand the importance of being reliable, following each pet’s individual routine, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s going for walks, providing playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I want every pet to feel loved and cared for. I’m committed to communicating with owners, following their instructions, and making sure their pets’ needs come first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines and the owner’s instructions so their pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I provide fresh food and water, playtime, walks when needed, companionship, and a clean space. I also make sure to give each pet attention based on their personality and individual needs. I understand how important it is to treat someone’s home and pets with respect, care, and responsibility. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind.

About: I’m a 21‑year‑old college student with experience caring for dogs, cats, and puppies, offering reliable routines, patient support, and attentive, loving care for every pet. As a full‑time college student who only serves one night a week, I have early mornings and night flexibility to give your pets consistent, attentive care. I’ve grown up with many cats and cared for dogs of all ages, including pets with medical needs. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely—feeding, playtime, litter or potty breaks, meds if required, and plenty of attention. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining the environment and habits they’re used to.

About: I’ve raised animals since I was able to walk! Farm animals, cats dogs, reptiles, birds, you name it! I currently have only one animal so I’m looking for others to spoil! I’m a college student so any time I’m not in class I’m always willing to be with your pet! No matter what day it is! I have cared for teacup chihuahuas all the way to Great Danes and rots! I can handle anything with a smile on my face!! Even the shy ones :)

About: I've taken care of 4 big dogs at the same time for more than a week and stayed the night. I still take care of them to this day. I have also taken care of cats and cleaned the litter box included. My last experience I've had was puppy sitting and I had up to 6 English bulldogs plus the parents I took care of. Took them to vet appointments as well. At this point no pet is too much for me! I do have a part time job as a preschool teacher, I work a normal Mon-Fri. I am available all Monday-Sunday. I do have my own transportation so if I stay the night while sitting I have a way to work and back. I always make sure to ask different question to guarantee safety for both the owner and the pet. I personally only have 3 cats and I live in an apartment so they are indoor cats. That's how I keep my babies safe.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Family friends and neighbors would always trust me to feed walk and bathe their dogs whenever they were away. I’m currently working part- time which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am typically always free in the mornings and afternoon while some days I am free all day. Schedule can always be discussed. I am open to provide any care your fur baby might need while you are away and cannot provide that care. That may include walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with them.

“I cannot recommend Neysha enough! She is SO wonderful and patient with my energetic puppy, Sandy. It was hard to leave Sandy to go back to work, but Neysha made it so much easier. She takes her for walks, runs, to dog park and even gives her a massage to calm her down when needed! If your pet is in need of a kind, knowledgeable, fun companion, Neysha is the right person for you. We just love her.”

About: I have had many animals throughout my life. I have also cared for friends’ animals when they go out of town. Your fur babies will be well cared for with me! I am a stay at home mom to teenage boys, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am home all day most every day, so you can rest assured your pet is getting one on one attention every day of their stay! I have a fenced yard and a 9-pen boarding facility at my home. Each pen has access to a private, fenced potty area and your dog can either participate in group play or have private one-on-one play if they are more shy.

About: I have a half pit half german shepherd dog who i take care of. We got him too early from his mother before she could train him herself, so i basically had to train him since he was 2 weeks old. He is big and he jumps and scratches some times and doesn’t know how to listen lol but i know how to handle this big guy. i used to have a lab who was the complete opposite who is very sweet and shy and cuddly. I can handle any type of dog from big, small, bad, or sweet! i’m currently working part time so i’ll have plenty of time with your pups! i mainly work on the weekends and am very flexible with scheduling! I know how to lure any dog into a crate, room, or outside. I give my full attention to the fur babies i care for!!

“Alyssa is fantastic with our mini Aussie! He took a while to warm up, but Alyssa was so patient with him and took the time to let him get comfortable. She sent us tons of pics of him during their walk. Absolutely recommend Alyssa—she is wonderful!!!”

About: I have over 2 years of hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician in a busy veterinary hospital. I work with dogs and cats of all different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities every day. My experience includes caring for senior pets, puppies and kittens, nervous or anxious pets, and animals that may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health, assisting with post-operative care, and recognizing when something doesn’t seem right. Through my work, I’ve gained extensive experience with safe animal handling, feeding, walking, basic grooming needs, and keeping pets comfortable in unfamiliar or stressful situations. I’m also currently continuing my education in veterinary technology. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while treating every pet as an individual. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I’m available for morning visits before 7 AM and evening visits around 7 PM. Wednesdays are completely open, so I’m available throughout the day. My Saturday schedule alternates every other week. On working Saturdays, I’m available before 7 AM and anytime after noon. On my Saturdays off, I have open availability. I’m also off every Sunday and available throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find visit times that fit your pet’s normal routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With over two years of hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs. I understand animal body language and always take a calm, patient approach, especially with nervous or shy pets. I’m experienced with safe handling, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behavior or health that may need attention. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home and caring for a member of your family. I will always respect your home, follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions closely, and keep you updated so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have been a dog owner for 8 plus years. Currently I have 4 rescue dogs. Dogs bring me joy and I love their different personalities. I enjoy playing with them, walking and having cuddle time. I currently have older kids that don’t require much time thus available during the week and weekends to help out with pets. My schedule is flexible. I have a large fenced in yard and a doggy door that allows my fur babies to go in and out as they please. I also watch the dogs as they are outside.

About: With a bustling household featuring two energetic dogs and four charming cats, my pet care experience is a delightful whirlwind of furry affection and joyful chaos. From the morning cuddle sessions to evening playtime antics, I’ve mastered the art of juggling the diverse needs and personalities of your furry family members. Whether it's administering medication with finesse or deciphering the nuanced purrs and barks that fill your home, you're a seasoned pet caregiver who approaches each day with boundless love and dedication. My home is a haven where tails wag and whiskers twitch, where every paw print tells a story of shared adventures and unconditional companionship. I currently work part time with most of my availability being in the afternoon but more than willing to working anything out in the mornings. I have open availability on Saturdays and Sundays! Caring for pets in a client's home involves several key elements to ensure their well-being and happiness: 1. **Feeding and Watering**: Provide regular, scheduled meals tailored to each pet's dietary needs. Ensure fresh water is always available. 2. **Exercise and Play**: Engage pets in stimulating activities and play sessions to keep them mentally and physically active. This might include walks, playtime with toys, or interactive games. 3. **Grooming**: Brushing, bathing (if necessary), and grooming pets to maintain their coat health and cleanliness.

About: I have had animals my entire life from cats and dogs to horses and goats. I work in healthcare and can follow diet and medication instructions easily. I am currently available everyday. I can sit late afternoons or evenings as well. I also do overnights and weekends. If you need drop-ins or walks I can arrange that too. I have a 4 acre yard including a large fenced in area and also a smaller kennel area if needed for outside animals. Inside animals are welcome as I have an extra room with bedding, toys, leashes, and crates. If your animal does not use a crate for sleep that is fine also. They can sleep on their bed or pillow in the common area.

About: I take care of other people’s pets like I would want someone to take care of my two fur babies! I’ve worked with cats, dogs, lizards, and exotic birds. I was a keeper at a wildlife ranch and have also worked at a pet resort so I have experience with a little bit of everything, and there’s nothing that can surprise me! I’m currently unemployed but applying for jobs, I love animals and have a passion for working with them so I will make time for the clients that need help. I have experience crating/kenneling cats and dogs and have worked with a diverse range of breeds as well so I understand needs look differently for every animal.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love and personalized attention for each pet, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for like part of my own family. I also focus on clear communication with pet owners to keep them updated and at ease. I am currently a senior in highschool and the thing i enjoy most is animals! I have two maltipoos in my home and i am their main care taker but just meeting new dogs brightens up my day. It’s not about the money when it comes to pet care, it’s getting to spread my love to other animals! I make sure to keep pets comfortable and calm by sticking to their usual routine, giving them lots of love, playtime, and exercise. Whether they’re at my place or yours, I follow any special care instructions closely and keep the environment safe and clean. I also update you regularly so you know your pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life and find joy in ensuring they live their best lives. I haven’t found one that I don’t like or doesn’t like me! In my home or under my care I promise your pet will receive the best treatment. I’m currently working part time therefore I have plenty of time to take care of your animals as they need! I am open to boarding over the weekends and I’m flexible in my schedule! I live in an apartment complex that has a wonderful dog park on site! I do not have animals in my home, so if your pet does not do well with other animals or needs more one-on-one attention then I’m your girl!

About: Hi there! I’m Julia—a 27-year-old former elementary school teacher turned full-time remote professional. Working from home lets me do what I love most: spend my days with animals. Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mom has worked in a veterinary clinic for over a decade, so I grew up learning how to keep dogs and cats happy, healthy, and safe. I have a dog named Asher, who is a playful 7-year-old Australian Shepherd. I offer reliable, loving care for your four-legged family members—whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet so your pup or kitty can sniff me out and see if we’re a match. I can’t wait to meet them! I currently work from home in a remote setting so I am more free to walk your pet or let your pet outside and play with them. I care for the pets by playing with them, taking them outside and cuddling/ petting them whenever they come up to me to want some loving!
